How are we thinking about time these days? As a shifting notions of time and urgency. How can creative subjective experience or a socially defined concept? practitioners reconcile the ever-increasing speed of life As luxury commodity or basic market currency? In a with the need for reflection? Can designers develop a sense, everything in our lives is about time; it is the one new notion of ‘time-based design’? How do we deal with resource that no individual or activity can do without. the social dimensions of time? Social processes are fast We value time, we save it, we manage it, we fight it. becoming a main ingredient in product development, Ultimately, time is never enough, so we are forced from open-source R&D to community-based production to prioritise. Assess, compare, choose, relegate. As and project implementation. Keywords here are contemporary life accelerates non-stop, communication intimately connected to notions of time and urgency: is real-time, decisions are split-second and problem improvisation, networking, sharing and parallel solving relies on quick fixes rather than sustainable development.

Text from Nuno Artur Silva available soon A better future, by design: The considerable ------environmental cost of development, and the attendant climate change consequences, means that in order to save the planet we have to almost re-design it from the ground up – and this will affect the buildings we inhabit, the cars we drive and the industrial processes our companies engage in. In fact, over the next 40 years, we will have to develop a World 2.0 – a fundamental over-arching movement to reshape the world– and this would place design as one of the most important disciplines in business and academia – coupled with a green consciousness. And so, innovators are in hurry to fast-track World 2.0. Witness the advent of the X-Prize – which has put up a $10 million award to the innovator that develops the first commercially viable 100 mile per gallon car! Incremental change is not good enough for these guys – they want radical, frame-breaking change that could change the course of the planet over the next few decades. Ravi Naidoo ------

Open Talk 3 11 Sept — But is it design?

Talk Host: Paola Antonelli (IT) Guests: Kevin Slavin (US); Neri Oxman (US); Oron Catts (FI)

Designers stand between revolutions and everyday life. They have the ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and social mores, and to convert them into objects and ideas that people can actually understand and use. What they produce can sometimes resemble conceptual art or scientific experiment, but what all their endeavors share is a passion for interdisciplinarity and innovation, as well as an attention to the common good that makes them into crucial actors in the future of society and of the world. Paola Antonelli ------ExperimentaDesign Lisboa / 09 September — 08 November 2009 9

To celebrate its 10th Anniversary, EXD’09 has presented, on its programme, a number of Special Projects in honour of its commitment to the ideals and principles that moulded the biennale in 1999.
